Shelley Gets a Setback.

A story is told by the gossips OF the
town apropos of the incipient Shelley
craze, which relates how Il West-end
young lady, who lives with her wealthy
and eccentric grandmother, determined
to establish a Shelley club. She in
vited a dozen Of her friends of both
sexes, and informed her grandmother
only after all the arrangements for the
meeting had been completed.
The grandmother made no comment,
but there was fire in her eye, and her
granddaughter, knowing how lily the
head of the house could brook having
anybody take the initiative but herself,
should have viewed with suspicion the
packages which arrived from the book
sellers on the afternoon of the day APP

There was the usual chit-chat, discus

settled down to read The Ceuci,' for
which parts had been arranged be-

he thoroughly realized the tyranny

COLUMBIA Is. c., June 1Sth.-Rumors OF
the expected outbreak of negroes in Lau-

Later in the day. some excitement in mill
tary circles was caused by the fact of Gov
ernor Richardson and the Adiutant- Gen
eral having been appealed to for arms and
protection by the whites of Laurens. Gov
ernor Richardson received a communica-
ton signed by number of citizens there.
The negroes, under the Hoover influence,
the petition stated, had formed a number OF
clubs. Meetings had been held at night in
the churches from II to o'clock, and
buildings were surrounded by armed pick
cts. Very incendiary speeches were made.
general uprising should take place in the
night, that the white men and women
should be killed, and the white girls be
taken as wives and the children made to
work.
1t was proposed to bum out the whites
and then murder them. The negroes were
all well armed, the arms being furnished
by the clubs. Where they came from is
unknown. The members of the clubs are
bound by oath to secrecy, and to divulge
anything was punishable by DEATH
The Governor was told that the out
break was expected at any moment. A
company of cavalry fifty strong had been
organized, it was stated, and The State was
asked to send rifles and ammunition imme-
diately. A similar communication was re-
ceived at Adjutant-General Bonham's Of
flee. Governor Richardson Immediately
telegraphed to General Bonham to return
to Columbia and sent member of his staff
and Colonel Scotfin, of the Adjutant, Gen.
erals Office. to Laurens county to investi-
gate and report fully at once.
The Governor is prepared to put one or
two regiments OF militia in the county at
short notice, and says, if necessary, all the
troops of the State will be ordered out and
that he will himself go to LaureDs county.
